I was referring to the fact that whole milk and yogurt were used for a test phase. Switching a diet can oftentimes work for a short time. I wasn't disputing the findings and I believe I made that clear. I will be firm on this because it is coming from a very experienced GI doctor. A switch in diet (i.e. food!) might lead to temporary good results but they don't last if you are eating a diet (food) not IBS safe. Whether I eat dairy in very small amounts is not your business or the point here. I am determined to uphold Heather's plan on this forum. We do not need to tell new people finding out that they should avoid dairy that it might be just fine for them. Do you see how confusing that would be? We need to be very careful to make sure that we don't give out advice on things we can handle but probably no one else will!!! For instance I am very good with IF but do you see me telling people that raw salad is probably just fine for them?, why not try it? NO! If you don't agree with Heather's information than don't give advice here. It does no good whatsoever and I am really getting upset.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
